23.01.2022 Here is what our clients are saying about us.... Marion Rae Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value "Susan O'Rourke assisted me recently in a settlement meeting to resolve a long standing estate litigation against a very large bank. The settlement meeting was tricky and long. Throughout, Ms O'Rourke maintained her equanimity and focus and displayed what seemed like superhuman patience both with me and with the bank's lawyers; she never faltered. I was kept ...fully informed at all times and asked for instructions regarding my position at every crucial point of the meeting. She followed up with negotiating a very excellently constructed deed of settlement, which involved a lot of going back and forth with the bank's lawyers to reach an outcome that was more balanced for me. I have no hesitation in recommending her for her integrity, intelligence and ethical approach to complex financial settlements and any sort of estate litigation. She put in the time and energy prior to the meeting to really get a clear understanding of the dispute and the mass of complexities involved. And somewhat miraculously to me, she resolved and settled the dispute, with me continuing to like and deeply respect her, not only for her legal expertise but also as the most decent and good person I have had the pleasure of dealing with ever.

13.01.2022 We are always seeking feedback from our clients, thought I would share some. "My Mother and I engaged Susan O Rourke to organise our wills for us. Susan had been highly recommended and it was lovely to be treated with such kindness and consideration, especially as my 79 year old Mother has mobility issues. Susan is without doubt the nicest, most thoughtful and thorough solicitor I have ever encountered, we felt in very safe hands. She was professional and very knowledgeable and able to steer us in the right direction with our concerns. Susan expediated the process whilst ensuring every detail was as it should be. She was available for calls when needed. Susan is a pleasure to deal with and provided us with good old fashioned service with a minimum of fuss. I would highly recommend her services". Natasha 2019

12.01.2022 Thanks Marion for some lovely feedback. "Susan ORourke is a very astute and helpful lawyer who helped me with my Will, Power of Attorney and Guardianship papers recently. I must say I was incredibly impressed with her efficiency and wisdom. She pointed out things I had overlooked. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone seeking these services and I found her kind, honest and ethical and she seemed to me to have a lot of integrity.... I was very pleasantly surprised. I have not had previous experience with lawyers and Susan ORourke was a breath of fresh air that I had not expected. Her central city office location is a plus too". Marion, 2019 See more
